Wow, this guy is an utter moron.
If the pictures and movie are real he better flee to a country which has no extradition treaty to the USA.
I would assume the 14 foot chain link fence seen in the foreground would be around a restricted area. Let's see how the courts view his claim of free speech when he violated the airport's security.
I remember when the environmentalist received the rude news that free speech would not protect them and they each would have to spend a year in the federal pokey plus cough up a $100,000 fine for trespassing on the Naval gunnery range at Vieques.
This is syptomatic of what's wrong with the anti-war movement. A few days after some spectacular event heralded as a major coup by an antiwar activist it seems more times than not it turns out like this.
Air Force One Subject of Internet Hoax

A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.
It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.
The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video employed by a New York fashion company revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.
"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."
The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.
After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized.
"We're looking at it, too," said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air Force One. "It looks very real."
Alexander later confirmed that no such spray-painting had occurred.
Ecko acknowledged Friday that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet at San Bernardino's airport and covertly painted one side to look like Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say how much the stunt cost.
"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."
